The world was never in better shape than when the British Empire
was in full flower. So on from one abiding truth to another: Things
never go well unless and until the good guys and the top dogs are
one and the same.
What follows is an argument from common sense and precedent in favor of American supremacy in every aspect of international life.
Why such an argument has to be made in the first place is among the wonders of our age, except that over on the left side of the political waterway numerous Americans think American power can’t shrink fast enough, and with it is America’s capacity to influence the rest of the world. It is a feat we can’t seem to bring off any more. No administration since Jimmy Carter’s has presented to the world a fuzzier impression of our intentions than does Barack Obama’s. With growing help — alas — from self-styled conservatives such as Rand Paul.
